With such a long and distinguished career as a player, there's a litany of statistics to illustrate the impact she had on the court.

Whalen has averaged 11.5 points, 4.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds in her WNBA career, having appeared in 477 regular-season games. Whalen made the All-WNBA First Team three times and the Second Team twice. But there is really one stat that encapsulates Lindsay Whalen best.

The four-time WNBA champion has built up quite the resume over 14 years in the league. Her résumé includes six All-Star appearances, 13 playoff appearances, eight WNBA Finals appearances, four WNBA championships and Olympic gold medals with Team USA in 2012 and 2016.
